#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
template<typename A>
typename std::enable_if<
             std::is_same<int, typename std::remove_all_extents<A>::type>::value
         >::type
foo(const A&)
{
    std::cout << "This is a " << std::rank<A>::value << "D array of int\n";
}
 
int main()
{
    int a[1][2][3];
    foo(a);
    float b[2];
//  foo(b); // compile-time error
}

Output:

This is a 3D array of int
